Drop & Go Option

Incoming students must first be financially cleared and have completed their medical history/pre-entrance health form (located on their new student portal page.)

Incoming students who will be living in the following residence halls are eligible for drop & go early move-in:

• DeChantal Hall
• Marian Hall
• Villa Maria Hall
• Lourdes Hall

Students must meet the financial obligation of their first bill by Monday, August 3 to be eligible for drop & go early move-in.

Drop & go early move-in will take place August 10-14. Drop & go sessions will be offered between the hours of 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. on those dates. Students will sign up for a two-hour slot during each early move-in session offered on those days.

Check your Immaculata email for more information. Students may fill out the drop & go interest form following the link from their email.

Students and their guests assisting with move-in will park on campus closest to their residence hall (please see below for more information regarding parking). Upon arrival, students will check in at the Campus Life Suite (located in DeChantal Hall behind the security desk) with a professional staff member and will be guided to their room.

Students and their guests will have two hours to move their belongings into their room and set it up as “move-in ready.” After two hours are complete, a professional staff member will ensure that your room is locked before you depart from campus.

Students and their guests are allowed to stay for the duration of their drop & go time slot (two hours). At the end of the two hours, students and guests will check out with a professional staff member and ensure that their room is locked.

Parking is available for each residence hall in the following locations (please see the campus map for more information):

• DeChantal Hall: Parking Lot D
• Marian Hall: Parking Lot D
• Lourdes Hall: Lourdes Circle
• Villa Maria Hall: Villa Maria Circle

Students are welcome to bring as many guests as they wish to drop & go early move-in.

Students and guests will be responsible for moving themselves into the residence hall on these days. Large move-in carts will be available for use throughout these days.
